Jesus Christ. This book's title should have been:
"Don't Bother Reading This, Because It's A Bunch Of Scenes Where Each One Of The Main Characters Cry, Cry, and Cry Some More. Sometimes, There's Even Scenes Where They All Cry TOGETHER! And Then, There Are More Scenes Where Other Characters Join Their Cry-fest."
Oh, my God. I didn't even finish this mess, and I got so far too! And I hate not finishing books.
I only had 30% of it to finish? But I just couldn't take it anymore.
And the characters repeat themselves so much, it's unbearable!
And It's almost like they are in some universe where they can act dumb and strange and no one will say shit about it.
And don't forget the crying.
EVERYONE cries in this book!
No character is safe from the crying-virus.
Sometimes, it's every other scene!
Like WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CRYING!? Didn't you already cry earlier like three times?!!!!!!!

It was just ok for me. I wanted to know what happened to the characters so I kept reading. Besides that I would have probably would have put this book down. Nevvie was whiny. There were times when I thought her whining was justified, she did go through a lot emotionally in this book. There were other times though that I just wanted to bitch slap her whiny ass.

Sooooooo much goes on in this book.
It’s an emotional rollercoaster. Tommy and Tyler do a lot of growing up.
Nevvie is a fantastic mother and wife. Things don’t always go as they should but the three of them always seem to come out on top. No pun intended.
I did want to smack Tommy a little bit in this book. And I believe Tyler and Nevvie forgave to fast but I did like that they all communicated so well.
I also really liked that Nevvie can still surprise them. And Tommy kind of did as well. I like that Nevvie can know what it’s like to top in a way I don’t think she ever would have before.
I am still not a big fan of the narrator’s voice when she Nevvie does her slave voice I think because it sounds kind of childish and not seductive but overall I am really enjoying her narration for all the character.
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

This is a redo review
This was book 2 in the " Love Slave for two" series. Nevvie, Tyler and Tom face more heart break and challenges. First Tom sister calls child services on the trio because she doesn't approve of them and while dealing with that Tyler has a heart attack. While coming back from a businesses trip Tom is hit by a car in the hospital parking lot. In this book Nevvie was whiny at times and leans on her friends to help her through it. While feeling sorry for his self Tom kisses the phyiscal therapist. This book also made me laugh and cry at times. This book also had some good sex scenes. I love reading this series. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling.

I'm not sure why I find these books so addictive, but I think it's to do with Tyler and Thomas. I just don't like Nevvie as a character and spent most of this book wanting to smack some sense into her. There's no real sense of danger, and not very much conflict in this one beyond Nevvie whining for the entire book. The dialog is entirely too saccharine and way over the top.
Overall, I liked it the least of the books in the series and don't plan on reading more if there are any. My advice is to go read the novella featuring only Ty and Tom instead of picking this one up.

Nevvie is kind of an insecure whiny one in this one. She was never really stable or strong in my mind so I guess it's accurate for her to be the way she is - high maintenance and all "woe is me". Thomas is behaving like an ass. Guys do that when they feel inadequate. Thomas is in a severe depression. I didn't like this one as much as I liked the first one. Still, it was okay.

I cannot stand that whiney girl. And their pretend slave talk was just icky. This book was boring.

Tymber, how do you make me cry every time?!! This was an unusually long book for an erotic romance. But it was absolutely fantastic. Romance, sex, heartache, suspense, healing, family drama, forgiveness, humor... This author is truly talented and gifted at making sure every detail is dealt with in her stories. I cried when there were hurts, and let me tell you, there were hurts aplenty!!! I cried when there was healing and also when there were reunions and forgiveness. You can't help but get sucked in and feel what the characters are feeling. Another well done book for TD. Absolutely wonderful. I just can't possibly say enough...

Book Two in this series--the palpitations and heart flutters of new love are past and now these three are faced with building their life together long term as an unusual family configuration, especially with a baby on the way. Again their life together is challenged almost to the point where their relationship is broken, but how they find their way back to wholeness is one of the core issues in this novel. Very well-written and constructed. There is still that hot loving between them, but that does not overtake the flow of the story. Just a very, very good book.

Really good continuation of the series Love Slave for Two. It was great to reconnect with Tyler, Thomas and Nevvie.
Lots of medical drama in this installment and a few additions to the family.
One thing I did find tiresome was Nevvie's constant crying and sobbing. I get that she's going through some tough stuff and Thomas is being a big jerk but you don't have to cry so much. Get a grip.
Will definitely continue with these books.

Wonder if there will be another sequel in addition to the prequel? Sure hope so! Love this series=)

It's just relentless, over-the-top ANGST. With no narrative breaks. And random shoehorned vaguely sexual scenes as if the author remembered for a second she wanted to write a romance novel.
All of the weak writing from the first book is at the forefront in this one because there's no semi-decent character/plot arcs to compensate.
On average, I kid you not, at least one character cries/sobs/bursts into tears every other paragraph.
After running herself ragged for well over a month amid all the chaos, Nevvie inexplicably declared her desire for another baby. That's when my brain short-circuited and refused to read another word.

Maybe not quite as strong as Book #1. The "dual tragedy," as noted in the book description, keeps things very hectic/chaotic in the first half of the book. While essential to the developing story line, it pulled it a bit away from the 'erotic romance' component for quite some time. It did, however, have a very strong finish and set things up well for the continuation.
April 23, 2017
This is another great book in the series. This book takes you further into the life of Thomas, Tyler, and Nevie. The good and the bad of their life. Blessings and near tragedy. I love following them and their family. If Ms. Dalton keeps writing like this I'll keep reading.

Whew! I had quite the emotional rollercoaster ride in this one but still loved it.

This is the second book in the series of 4.
This was my least favorite book of the series. I liked the dynamics of Thomas and Tyler and in this book they lost it. I liked how they were important together and Nevvie joined them. In this book they started to make it about Nevvie and she had control of them all. I started this series because of the MM dynamics.

This well written continuation of the story is an emotional roller-coaster, so be prepared for some strong ups and downs.
An Excellent read that has me immediately jumping to the next one.

The only thing I can't let go of is Tom still calling her baby girl. Every time I hear it it just reminds me of what he did. Other than that it was a great book.

This second installment in the saga of Nevvie, Tyler and Thomas is even better than the first one. They've built their unconventional family and are cementing it by bringing a much anticipated and loved baby into their midst. The story basically takes off from there.
There are trials and tribulations, health scares, accidents and a BDA for a while but with love, patience and understanding they find a way out of the drama and never forget that their relationship, while unusual, is worth it all.
Ms. Dalton again focuses on the emotional aspects of their story more than the physical ones though the sexual situations are still explicit and naughty. The writing is wonderful though the book could have benefited a from a bit more proofreading.
I so hope that there will be another installment, soon.
Well worth spending the time. I adored these characters, their strengths and weaknesses and the unique way they each related to the other two in the relationship. The master/slave play is harmless, nowhere near a true BDSM menage, but playful, respectful and always loving. I laughed and cried throughout this book. Strong yet vulnerable characters with realistic weaknesses that are explained, including well-developed and executed character growth and a charming line-up of supporting cast.

This book actually pissed me off... Seriously Tyler actually pissed me off and Nev..she is a total joke.
The relationship between Tyler and Thomas was so strong and in the first books and I enjoyed their closeness... I was like great all will be well if they bring her in... and it was until this book. Now I know in the previous book Tom got pissy and was about to 86 Ty but in this book I felt like Tom was the outsider... like he didn't matter at all and the fact that Tyler was ready to jump ship with Nev pissed me off even more. I wanted Tom to be like "F" yall I'm out! but instead he folded ugh that made me even more mad.
I still feel like Tom is now the third wheel, I also hate that they pretty much call him dumb because he doesn't catch on, so freaking what... clearly I am pissed that I wasted my time getting invested only to have one of the main characters pissed on!
Also... the abundance of sex...its annoying and let me tell you it normally doesn't bother me but there is more sex than story line honestly. I am not even sure I want to finish this the rest of these books, I purchased the bundle set for 99 cent kindle... I am so frustrated I might just call it quits.

MMF triad deals with injury, recovery, and betrayal with plenty of melodrama and some sizzle
In my opinion, the series title and the cover does not do justice to the content of this extended story. While most of the Siren titles I have read are focused on putting in just enough story, character, and relationship issues to set-up sizzling scenes, I find the characters in Tymber Dalton's works in general, and in this series in particular, to be more compelling.
While the first book in the series was about a somewhat teasing "chase" among the three parties involved (although including hostile/abuse plot devices), this sequel has much more character conflict along with the heated scenes. While the relationship exploration of a triad could be much more complex, there was enough meat (even with overly dramatic/life-and-death plot devices) for this to be an interesting peek at a polyamorous relationship, even if the thrust is, in the end, a satisfying (and a bit soap opera) romance of steam and strife and sizzle.

Dalton continues the story of Nevie, Tyler and Thomas. Just as the three have begun their life together tragedy strikes in a shocking way which will draw lines between the family they were born to and the family they chose. Nevie finally finds herself in this book, she finds she is strong and that the love she has and the family who loves her needs her to keep it together and bring them all through recovery. But when things are seeming to heal and come together again, the love of the 3 is tested once again. This is a sweet book, and I love the details that Dalton shares with her readers. I'm so glad she has written the entire story, giving us the full picture of this beautiful triad and the family that they share and grow.

I liked the pace of the story. Time wasn't wasted on normal daily routines and the story got right to the exciting and traumatic parts. As in the previous book there was emphasis on what went on in the bedroom. That's why I read these smexy books. But there was room for delving further into the extended family dynamics and setup for the next book too. I'm going to order the next book for my e-reader right away. Tymber Dalton's editor deserves kudos. I can't say there weren't any grammatical errors but they were minimal and in this day and age of indie authors and self publishing that means a lot.

This was so fantastic! The cover is rather misleading, makes you think you are just getting some hot erotic tale, but this is so much more!Though it has some pretty damn hot steamy moments. I found myself with tears in my eyes on many occasions. I felt like smacking Thomas on the back of the head with how he reacted after his accident and what he did to Nevvie. This is such a great read and it is free! This surpassed my expectations and I stayed up late reading it because I found I couldn't stop.

4.5/5 stars
This is a great followup to Love Slave For Two (the original story). It explores the men's personalities more and slightly changes the dynamic between the three to spice it up a little. There were parts of this that really made my chest ache for the trio. The end nicely wraps up pretty much every loose end in the series, so I don't see there being many more (if any) stories about Tyler, Thomas, and Nevvie. I'm a little sad about that, but I imagine there are plenty more Tymber Dalton stories to get lost in. =)

This is the on-going story of Nevvie, Tyler, and Thomas. They now have a child and have settled into life together and then BAM. Boy does life through them some terrible curves. There is so much packed into the story...life, death, family drama, secrets solved, and recovery. The emotions run really strong in this story. Knowing a family effected by head trama and how it effected personality Thomas' recover rang very true to life. Can't wait to get the next installment.
